2023–2025 Ford Mustang Mach-E Recall: Window Trim May Detach

Ford is recalling 86,543 Mustang Mach-E vehicles from model years 2023–2025 because rear side quarter-window glass trim may be improperly secured and detach. Detached trim can create a road hazard and increase crash risk. Campaign 26V487000 applies to certain vehicles, so owners should check the VIN to confirm whether their vehicle is included.

Which vehicles are included?

• Ford Mustang Mach-E: 2023–2025

These are the model-year groups listed for the campaign; only certain vehicles within them are affected.

• NHTSA recall ID: 26V487000
• Potentially affected: 86,543
• Initial report received: July 28, 2026.

Why the recall matters

Detached trim pieces can create a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

The official recall report provides the vehicle and defect details.

Repair and owner notification

NHTSA’s campaign record checked September 16, 2026 says dealers will inspect and replace the quarter-window glass assemblies as necessary, free of charge. It still lists September 10, 2026 as the expected interim-letter mailing date and says additional letters will follow when the remedy is available. The record does not confirm completion of that mailing. Ford’s campaign number is 26S56.

Owner notification: Interim letters were scheduled to begin September 10, 2026. The reviewed current record does not confirm mailing completion; another notice will follow when the remedy is available.

What owners should do

Use the official NHTSA VIN recall lookup and contact the manufacturer or an authorized dealer to confirm whether this campaign applies to your vehicle and what service is available. A matching make, model and year alone does not establish that an individual vehicle is affected.

Mustang Mach-E owners should also review the separate 26V582000 recall report and check each campaign independently by VIN.

September 16, 2026 update

Clarified that the potentially detached part is the rear quarter-window trim. The current record still describes September 10 as an expected interim-mailing date, without confirming completion.

Current NHTSA campaign data for 26V487000, checked September 16, 2026, supports the current campaign status above. The linked manufacturer report records the filing at its submission date.
